This outstanding resource is a simple card sort that can be used with a range of abilities from foundation to gifted and talented. It looks at one of the most important turning point in both Irish and British History, the Battle of the Boyne, 1690 whose consequences still echo down to the present day.
The card sort can be used a starter or plenary. It contains two heading cards labelled 'Causes of the Battle of the Boyne' and 'Consequences of the Battle of the Boyne.' Students are instructed to sort through fourteen cards. I have deliberately included more consequence cards, than causes cards. They are written with a neutral, non judgemental tone allowing students to form their own opinions.
Aims and objectives:
Theme: Making of the United Kingdom
Know: What were the causes and consequences of the Battle of the Boyne?
Understand: Why was the Battle of the Boyne a significant turning point?
Analyse: What were the long term consequences?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?

Bundle contains a display and a poem to help students remember question words as Gaeilge (in Irish)
It also Irish language cards to help encourage target language usage in the classroom! All the basics you need to encourage and inspire your students to bígí ag caint as Gaeilge:)

I did this poem in Primary School to help me remember the Irish language question words. I still teach it today! It's fantastic way to teach what is usually expected to be just rote learned off. Also I generally find with lower level abilities they struggle to remember the question words and this always helps.

This is a list of questions I have compiled for both my Junior &amp; Leaving Certificate students for the Oral Exam. As an examiner I have used these questions and it helps focus students learning for their exam.
At the beginning is a list of phrases they can use to increase their fluency levels, sound more fluent and natural in their speech, all while thinking of an answer! It is very much geared towards Leaving Cert Ordinary level but I have also asked all to Higher Level students as well!
There is over 100 basic questions that cover a wide range of topics.

I use this resource with all my Junior Cert / Cycle classes (U.K. Year 7 - 9) It contains a PowerPoint that starts with a poem about Oíche Shamhna (Halloween) to set the mood. The poem is on the PowerPoint and also on a word document to hand to students.
From here the lesson contains all the necessary vocabulary to speak about Oíche Shamhna (Halloween) as Gaeilge. After you have gone through the PowerPoint, there is a word search and also a crossword for students to complete.
This is definitely one of my favourite lessons to teach and students love and engage with it!

This resource can used to help encourage students to use classroom language as Gaeilge.
It consists of two sides and when printed back to front and laminated these cards can be placed in students lanyards or in their pencils cases and taken out in lessons to encourage target language usage.
They have made a huge difference for my students and during an Irish Inspection last year, they were praised by the inspector.
